Did you know that a concussion is a type of traumatic brain injury caused by a bump, blow, or jolt to the head that can change the way a person’s brain normally works? Concussions can occur in any sport or recreation activity and, while symptoms may appear to be mild, this type of injury can lead to significant life-long impairment affecting a person’s memory, behavior, learning, and/or emotions. Appropriate diagnosis, management, and education are critical for helping young athletes with a concussion recover quickly, fully, and without any longterm effects. Join us as we discuss concussion signs, symptoms, and management tips to help your student athlete(s) on and off the field. Join us for a FREE morning of straight-talk and expert advice with Brian Andrews, M.D. & Peter Weber, M.D.
